VISION:

. (from website) ground-breaking technology company founded on the principles of integrity, transparency and responsibility, benefiting mankind and future generations,
. P2O objective: convert 10% of all waste plastic into useable energy --> "recycling 2.0"
. getting overwhelming assistance by regular people and shareholders

KEYS TO SUCCESS:

. open communication & transparent with shareholders
. crowd-sourcing: harness power of collective intelligence of JBI shareholders
. provides access to valuable experience

. many investors help with their spare time: increase investment value & help environment
. retired investors working on: machining, welding, electrical, building, etc
. highly experienced & value-based management team: no pay without success

Information is released as quickly as legally possibly, JB will push for less expensive methods of dissemniation information.

KEY DIFFERENTIATORS:

. IPO was not exit strategy
. funds don't control the board
. focus on long-term profitibility, not short-term earnings
. building a "value-based company"

Quote:"Bold moves get noticed. They make history, the motivate staff, create momentum, stir-up a storm, bring everything to a critical mass that converts a huge challenging problem into a big success.
It also gets eyes on our products and gets eyes on our stock without using paid stock promoters. And it removes barriers in our business plan."


(John Bordynuik)


Quote:"It's my obligation to back-up anything this company says in a PR. If I can't, then the regulatory agencies would have a field day with me. When we say somethign in a PR, it's real -- there's no fluff and no nonsense. It also goes through our securities lawyers for vetting."


(John Bordynuik)


Uplisting: applications submitted and fees paid. Uplisting is not delayed, simply occuring in normal course of business.

Quote:"You'll know as soon as I do -- this is important to all of us."

(John Bordynuik)
